Workshop Description

In January, sun returns to Lofoten islands and will rise slightly above horizon providing many hours of beautiful soft light every landscape photographer is dreaming of! During the dark nights, we will hunt the Northern lights – likeliness is high that we will be successful during that time of the year.

We will stay in traditional fisher huts in Sakrisøy (close to Reine) in the most Southern part of Lofoten, and we will find most attractive scenery right outside our front door.

Scenery is dramatic – rough mountains rising steep from the long fjords, beautiful beaches – Lofoten is a dream location for any landscape photographer, and we are more than happy to share our knowledge with you in this Northern part of Norway.

Accomodation

We will choose accomodation that is typical for the country we’re visiting. All places are carefully selected to allow for best overall experience. Our photo adventure starts right outside the front door.

Date & Duration

The workshop takes place during Northern lights season. As we will spend an entire week at Lofoten, the likeliness to observe Northern lights is pretty high – let’s hope for clear skies!



Group Size & Price

The workshop fee is reasonably low given the small group size. We will have sufficient time to guide every workshop participant individually and develop photographic skills further.

Photography

Sun will be shining from approx. 10:30 am to 2:00 pm, but we will be blessed with multiple hours of twilight before sunrise and after sunset. During the nights we will watch out for Northern lights.

Tour Details

We will meet at Leknes, Lofoten, Wednesday evening, and will take our rental car to head towards beautiful Reine. During the entire workshop, we will stay in local fisher huts close by.

From Thursday until Monday we will take photos of the most beautiful landscapes from sunrise to sunset (if weather conditions permit). We will visit the famous beaches of Skagsanden, Unstad, Utakleiv, Myrland and Haukland. If conditions support we can also include Kvalvika, Bunes and Horseid beach.

In the late evening hours, we will watch out for Northern lights that are likely to be visible in case of clear skys.

Our accomodation is located in one of the most scenic areas of Lofoten, so we can start photographing right outside the front door of our traditional fisher huts.

…to express everything with only a few words: simply impossible! Lofoten are breathtaking! The workshop was perfectly organized from arrival until departure, and I learned a lot with regard to using filters in landscape photography. Big thanks for this great experience, Jens, and hopefully I will be able to join one of your upcoming workhops again!
